Blinded By The Light....Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night...

I LOVE that song, one of my favorite movies is Blow, and if you have not seen it, please do! Well, this mani, really did almost blind me, in my car :) While on my lunch break, I did a mani of OPI DS Original over black, and then a quick Konad of the leopard spots, since I wasn't to thrilled with how my first leopard mani turned out.

This is what I started with. Seriously guys, if you can get OPI DS Original, please do!! It might not look sooo fabulous inside, but in the sun.....oh just wait and see. I actually just grabbed another back up off of eBay, for under $12. Not bad IMO, and totally worth it :)

Then I did the leopard Konad. Now, these next 2 shots are from inside my car! Okay, I wasn't driving, I was stopped in traffic. I have an hour and a half commute each way, with TONS of traffic, so I took advantage. I knew by the time I got home, there wouldn't be any sun, and you guys had to see this!


When I got home, I wanted to try out my OTT light, and see how it looked. Look, crazy holo still!!

Umm..It is supposed to be crooked

Morning! Okay, I have come to the conclusion that it is all MUA's fault that I can't seem to stop buying polishes :) A few weeks ago, a sweet lady, Diava, posted some pics of some A-England polishes, that I just HAD to have, you know, like every other polish, lol. So I got them both, Lady of the Lake, which is the one I'm showing you today, and Tristam, which is also a holo, but a dark blue one!! I don't have any top coat on in these pics, because I was just swatching, and playing one of my new Mash plates. I'll take real actual swatches of them both this weekend :) Here is where I purchased mine :) I also want to swatch these in the day with sun, so you can all see it's true holo-ness.

Okay, well here is 2 coats of Lady of the Lake



Then I used the M60 Mash plate

and using Love & Beauty Silver, I did the dots design. Now here is what drives me crazy....the design is CROOKED! I can't stand that, and had this been a full mani, I would have had to start all over, lol. This is why I rarely do the designs that have to be placed in the center, or lined up, because I suck, lol




Just some pretty bottle pics, I love them!

Animal Time

The whole time I have had my nail stamping plates, I have never done a leopard mani! Of course the plate that had it on there, I lost, but whoo hoo, I ordered the MASH plates off of Amazon, and it had that plate in the set. Now, IMO, this mani is a big ol' FAIL, lol. I didn't have my trusty SV with me, at work, so after I completed this, my top coat that I did use, Looks Wet, smeared the design a tad, grrrr, it actually drove me so crazy, that I just removed it all, lol. Oh well, I still wanted to share, because I love the colors together.
I started with China Glaze Recycle
PS - ignore that gross milky looking substance on the bottle, HAHA, I didn't even realize it was there, until I took the pictures, it's just dried white polish, I swear!

Then using the M57 Mash plate, I added the leopard design and used Wet n' Wild Black Creme. Then I used OPI DS Original for the center of the spots :) You could def see the holo much better IRL

I can never have too many Holos!

YAY it was sunny out, so I again decided to reach for another one of my fave holos , Nfu-Oh 64. I also wanted to do something fun, since I might be going out for a girls night. I only have about 5 minutes to write this, it's again going to be short, sorry. I started with 2 coats of Nfu-Oh 64.






Then I decided to Konad over top, so I used my special Konad black polish. The only downside to this black, is it's a bisch to clean up, so sorry, but I was in such a rush to do this, clean up, take pics, upload, and write this post. I used the Konad plate M63




Alright, off to get ready, then decide if I want to go, lol. I know, kind of backwards, but better to be ready in case I do decide to, lol.

A Sexy Cami you all need!

OMG, I think my polish hauling this month has been an all time record, eeekkk, I'm sure it's over 70 now *hides* Well, my hubby is no help, while we were at Target he told me to get whatever I wanted, dangerous words to a girl like me. Especially since they had new Essies, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri's and Nicoles. So....I grabbed a few of each, lol. Here is one of the Essies I got, Midnight Cami, and OMG it's gorg. I was actually thinking of a way to make this into Starry Starry Night, since the base looks close, but I'm not that good. This applied like magic. It really only needed 1 coat, but I did 2 anyways.




Then I also grabbed 2 new Nicoles, and this one is CRAZY holo, Make A Coment-Ment, I also love the name :P
Ummm...can you see all that prettiness?!?!? This was only 1 coat too.





and since it's been a while, I decided to use my Born Pretty Hello Kitty plate, and add some white and silver flowers. For the flowers I used both Konad White and China Glaze Millenium on the same flower, it is kind of hard to tell, but I promise each flower is 2 colors :P

Lightning & Lace

Before I removed the Sally Hansen Lightning, my previous posted mani, I decided to try a Konad over it. I used Claire's 14 Karats and Konad plate M71.
I just wanted to share my view from the couch as I was taking these pictures. My hubby and our Chi Rolo, they are BFF's, lol.

REALLY...... %^$#@!*!@#$#

Sorry for the screaming headline, but OMG, I'm convinced my middle finger hates me, I mean really hates me! Just as it's finally growing out, I ram it into the corner of our coffee table!!! I never break any other nail, just that one. Grrrr.....

*deep breathe* Okay, anyways, for this mani I used China Glaze Tree Hugger, which has been in my untrieds forever and China Glaze Cherish for the Konad.

Here is 2 coats of Tree Hugger, I love the green shimmer in this so much.




and for the Konad
